VCHS tennis gets first win
The Valley City High School tennis team had plenty of close matches in a home meet with Wahpeton Tuesday, but found ways to get the 7-2 win over Wahpeton.
The Hi-Liners played what coach Matt Nielson called “the most solid doubles of the season,” sweeping all three matches, but struggled in singles.
No. 1 singles player Kierstin Lorenz prevailed in a three-set match with Megan DeVillers.
“Kierstin showed grit and determination,” Nielson said. “She was getting frustrated with the ‘moon ball’ tennis that her opponent threw at her. She stayed focused and patient and pulled through.”
The team also had singles wins from Clarissa Olson, Sara Gilbertson, and Arelle Krueger.
Full results:
Singles:
1. Kierstin Lorenz beat Megan DeVillers 6-3, 5-7, 6-2
2. Clarissa Olson beat Brita Enderson 6-0, 6-1
3. Destiny Winkler lost to Lindsay Williams 6-3, 7-5
4. Sara Gilbertson beat Leandra Schmidt 7-5, 7-5
5. Sam Coit lost to Leslie Hibl 6-1, 6-1
6. Arelle Krueger beat Abby Miller 1-6, 6-3, 6-4

VCSU golf teams end season
The Valley City State University mens golf team finished its season with a 10th place finish at the NAIA National Qualifier at Antelope Hills Golf Course in Prescott, Ariz.
Sunday, the Vikings played 36 holes, scoring a team score of 323 in the first round and scoring 316 in the second. Monday they shot a 316 giving them a three-round total of 955.
The tournament marks the end for seniors Taylor Henrickson and Ryan Mehus, who were part of the inaugural season when VCSU brought golf back as a varsity sport three years ago.
The Valley City State University women’s golf team also finished its season at the AII qualifying tournament in Prescott.
The tournament consisted of a practice round on Saturday followed by two rounds of intense pressured filled golf. Mandi Bindas played her first competitive round of golf since suffering an ACL injury the first week of school.
“I thought this weekend was a real learning experience for us,” coach Ryan Bomstad said. “This is the first time our team has traveled farther than 230 miles to compete. We were able to see where we are as a program and where we need to go to compete for national meets.”
